We are a group of students from NALSAR - Hyderabad. We started CLATGyan in the year 2010 and it is the first website dedicated for CLAT mentoring. The idea behind CLATGyan is to help CLAT aspirants by using the little wisdom we earned while we prepared for, and cracked the CLAT. Our intention is to fill in the gap between the study material and the examination centre by providing some hand-holding support.

We have existed for six years now and we hope to do so until the sea levels rise by three meters, because after that, what's the point!
